Len-I saw it as a chance for us to do something from
which the organisation individuallly and collectively
would learn, and change as a result.
That is essentially the Pedlar burgoyne Boydell
definition as I understood it, -learning organisation
is an organisation that facilitates the learning of all
its members and continuously transforms itself.
In this case I guess I was hoping that we can use
these ILT applications to encourage a debate
internally, which should get learing and teaching more
attention and higher status: an opportunity to get the
institution to value teaching and learning etc a bit
more. That may not be transformational in your
book- or in mine- but some gradual cultural changes in
the way we value and reward teaching are already well
under way and I saw this as helping.
